Prospect Cattle Show and Fair.

Show and Fair of South Branch Grange, with the
cooperation OF the farmers of Prospect, stockton,
Frankfort and Sca,sport. The attendance was
large, making the little village appear quite popu
lous for the time. The exhibition i'm the Hall, in
the Ladies' department was good The useful
and fancy articles were not as numerous as in
former years, but excellent in quality. Many of
the articles exhibited were beautifully executed
and worthy of special mention, but for want Of
time and space we are unable to specify. The
fell crops were of better size and quality than
We have usually had exhibited at our fairs. The
shbw Of stock was excellent. OF special interest
were the large number of thoroughbred animals
on the grounds. Among the number was Il Here
ford and Galloway bull owned by |. f. Could, and
nine head of herd book Am. Jersey C. C. Stock
exhibited by Freeman Partridge. C. II. Partridge
also exhibited finely built Galloway bull Mr..
Herbert Black CT Searsport, showed some fat
sided and we'll matched Hereford oxen. In the
| colt and horse department the show was the best
ever seen on the ground. Capt Ivory Grant of
Bucksport exhibited very handsome pair of
Drew colts. The Committee of the several depart
